North Dakotans can win $10,000 by buying a lottery ticket -- without even having a winning number.

The state lottery office says whoever buys the ten millionth ticket sold will win the ten-grand.

The promotion includes Powerball, Hot Lotto and Wild Card Two tickets.

Lottery officials say the date of the ten millionth ticket sale depends entirely on the pace at which lottery tickets sell.

Sounds like a good promotion to me.  Guess when they get to $20 million they will give away $20,000.  And years down the road when they get to $100 million they'll give away $100,000.  Who knows?

Cool promotion.  If they did something of that sort in NM, maybe every 10k nth ticket sale hurls forth a hundred bucks to the purchaser it would be a big deal.  The thought of occasionally someone winning a few bucks from NM lottery would be a major incentive.

New Mexicans typically just buy tickets because a legislator once said it's a voluntary tax on stupidity, and we're mostly scared not to pay our taxes.
